Well i support my own distro for years now, the complains about nvidia are minimal. Users need sometimes xorg.conf finetuning when the monitor does not report EDID correctly but thats all in most cases. But the problems you get with fglrx are absolutely annoying.

I asked several times about dropping the monthly releases, but was told that it wouldn't really help anything.
Dunno how nvidia can support so many OSes as well as they do... while AMD just kind of waves at ever OS but Windows, and then plays the "but we released the specs" card...Last edited by cutterjohn; 04 August 2009, 09:57 AM.

'nearly a decade'.. yeah, I remember people being forced to flash their cards, because the card bios was incompatible with the nvidia drivers...
The only problem that I've had with nVidia hardware was the onboard 1Gbps ethernet on the nForce4 chipsets which always seemed to eventually crap out, but I just ignored it and used a PCI 100Mbps ethernet card, as that's all my home network supports anyways.

Sometimes they are actually, but I've used worse than ASUS cards, i.e. budget type, and didn't have problems. It's likely that ASUS probably thought they knew more than they did and tinkered with the BIOS as well as playing with clocks while the cards that I've had probably pretty much used bog standard reference BIOS...
